Fiscal Year 2023 Consortium Incentive Grant Cohort Innovative Strategies for Out-of-school and Secondary Youth (iSOSY) is a consortium of 18 states including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas (Lead State) Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Vermont.
Migratory out-of-school youth (OSY) and secondary youth at-risk of dropping out experience substantial barriers to academic participation such as high mobility with numerous educational interruptions, limited English language skills, homelessness, inflexible work schedules, absence of a parent/guardian, and limited prior schooling.
The goal of iSOSY is to improve the delivery of MEP instructional services, with an emphasis on engagement and summer instruction, and to increase the educational attainment of OSY and secondary students at-risk of dropping out. The consortium will also work towards identifying the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and providing resources to assist states to address identified needs.
Major activities related to objectives include providing online instruction in synchronous and asynchronous formats; ensuring OSY and at-risk secondary students have access to devices capable of accessing academic content; determining needs and goals through focus groups and goal-setting workshops; and providing training and information about assessment materials to determine initial academic and English language skills.
Professional Learning Circles will ensure implementation of initiatives in states including Student Portal, summer youth academies, live lessons, certificates, goal setting, life skills, early learning development, and personal wellness. Website: https://www. osymigrant.

The consortium proposes to strengthen the involvement of migratory parents in the education of their children and address the impact of COVID-19 on migratory students’ reading and mathematics skills.
MPEC+ is committed to sharing and disseminating the resources developed through MPEC+ to support states in their efforts to promote greater parental involvement and support to migratory students. Key to disseminating MPEC+ resources is the Migrant Literacy Net (MLN) website which is available to all states at no cost.
The website has portals for teachers, students, and parents that include evidence-based strategies/lessons and reading/math screeners and tutorials that can be assigned by educators/parents to address student learning gaps. Tutorials and screeners can be accessed on any device by students anytime, anywhere there is cellular service or Wi-Fi.
Capacity building activities will include training for staff and parent advocacy teams on parental involvement and using the reading/math resources on the MLN to address learning gaps caused by the pandemic; training of trainers to increase staff capacity; and recorded training placed on the MLN website.

IMPACT will work closely with Pennsylvania’s Evidence Resource Center (ERC) as a key partner who will assist with the identification of evidence-based family engagement strategies to explore with the Technical Support Team members for implementation by member state MEP staff.
